FROM THE EDITORS

inding the right show site for a national specialty comes with plenty of challenges, especially with all the events that are now offered over the weeklong event. Fifteen years ago a show ring and a nearby large field were all that were required. Today, we need that same show ring, a fully matted obedience ring, 10,000 sq. ft. of space for an agility trial, and a lot of open ground for coursing and racing. One of the best facilities in the country was discovered during the planning of the 2010 show. Island Grove Regional Park in Greeley, Colorado has everything a club could need (or so I thought.) Not only does this place fulfill all the requirements, it even has over 200 RV spaces for all the “road warrior” exhibitors. Personally, I thought, “It can’t get any better than this.” I was proven wrong! The 2014 BCOA National Specialty was held at Purina Farms in Gray Summit, Missouri, a facility that is headand-shoulders above any place to hold such an event. The amazingly well-lit, climate-controlled, state-of-the-art Purina Event Center at 84,000 square feet is perfection in its own right. The Great Hall boasts 45,000 sq. ft. with the adjacent Gateway Hall providing another 13,500 sq. ft. The agility ring, almost dwarfed in the Great Hall, has its own artificial turf and comes fully equipped. It would make any die-hard agility competitor drool with excitement. Need to bathe your dog before the big show? Say no more. Six professional-quality dog bathing stations are located across from the grooming hall. Need to make a quick change of clothes? Don’t struggle in a cramped bathroom stall; just stop in one of the handler changing rooms. Outside, the center sprawls over the beautiful rolling hills of Missouri. There is almost no end to the well-groomed grounds for walking your dogs. Don’t want to go for a stroll? Take advantage of the two large, securely fenced dog runs. Our basenjis loved these huge, grassy yards to stretch their legs! Purina Farms has plenty of RV space, coupled with full-service amenities not found at most shows. A bonus feature for the RV want-to-be is the ease of renting a camping trailer that is delivered and set up on site for you. This year drew a large number of newbie campers simply because of ready access to three local trailer rental companies. The camaraderie with so many campers on the grounds over the week was wonderful. It felt like a small village. The 10-acre field for lure coursing and racing was just a 3-minute drive from the Center. Completely secure, the grounds offer excellent footing for the dogs, a pavilion for trial secretaries, and plenty of space to set up chairs to watch the action. It doesn’t get any better than this for both dogs and people. Exhibitors’ eyes sparkled all week about the quality of this show site. If ever there was a facility truly meant for dog competition, this was it! It wasn’t long before the buzz was, “We should have our national specialty here all the time!” First, this site is so popular it is already booked until 2020; second, this notion made a few people a bit anxious

that the BCOA would fix the location for the national specialty to the same spot every year. One concern, especially because Purina Farms is situated in the central region of the US, is that dogs would eventually become homogenized -- look more like Midwest dogs since many of the breeders from that area would be the most likely to attend. However, I feel this is an unfounded concern. The 2006 national specialty, for example, was held on the east coast in Rhode Island (another beautiful spot, by the way.) According to the superintendent, when I asked where attendees came from, the west coast actually brought the largest number of entries and in particular, the state of California! Clearly, exhibitors are willing to travel, as they have always been, to such a prestigious event. Moreover, Purina Farms is so big that two medium-sized breed clubs can easily share the space and not bump into each other. This is a plus for both clubs for hiring judges and splitting rental costs. An even bigger plus is that people can learn about another breed and maybe discover the challenges those owners face that might be different from ours. This is all food for thought as we, the dog fancy, ponder ways to fill that gap created by those who have left the sport for one reason or another. It is easy to put things in a personal perspective; however, it’s more important to view the situation from the eyes of all the dog fanciers. Do I want to travel 1500 miles or even a 1000 every year? Heck, no! I doubt anyone would stick their hand in the air to exclaim “Yes, me, me, me!” However, I would gladly do this if it meant giving our basenjis the perfect place for all of us to see them in action.h

by Wanda Pooley

Years ago my basenji, Rock, was diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI,) which means the pancreas can no longer secrete digestive enzymes to break down fat, protein, and starch. This autoimmune, wasting disease will kill its host if it is left unchecked. The diagnosis, using the canine Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity (cTLI) blood test, was clear-cut. What wasn’t so clear-cut was the time it took to arrive at the decision to even draw blood for this particular test.

WHAT, IF ANYTHING, HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN?

ock began showing some odd symptoms about mid-August of 2003, just at the onset of breeding season. His weight started to drop, his anxiety level increased, and his stools began to change. I tried to justify the weight loss and anxiety as these were not unusual for a frustrated male living with three girls in season, but the appearance of his stools bothered me. I kicked up Rock’s food intake to compensate for his weight loss -- something he was most happy about as he chowed down these larger portions. However, his stools got worse, and he started emitting a foul smell from his anus. This, coupled with Rock’s weight change, prompted me to have the vet examine him. During the next several weeks, Rock was evaluated for food allergies, gastrointestinal issues, anxiety, parasites, you name it! The vet ran complete chemistry and CBC panels, but all the test results were normal and with no indications of infection anywhere! By the end of September Rock was a mere shadow of himself - ribs and hip bones sticking out everywhere. His appetite was voracious as he greedily gobbled anything that even slightly resembled food. While Internet search engines were relatively adequate back then, they were nothing compared to the abundance of information they can churn out today. At last I finally stumbled across an article on a scientific website that provided an indepth study of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Now armed with

Rock, looking the picture of health two years after being diagnosed with EPI.

more knowledge, I asked my vet to draw blood from Rock for the cTLI test. Bingo! The normal reference range for a canine is 5-35 ug/L. Rock tested 0.44! In all likelihood, Rock had very little exocrine tissue left in his pancreas to process all that food I was giving him. That also explained the greasy, foul-smelling substance leaking from his anus. The fat in his food, running straight through Rock, was turning into voluminous, foul-smelling yellow “cow pie” stools. It took a few weeks to stabilize Rock’s condition. His diet was changed and supplemental pancreatic enzymes were added to his meals to help his disgestive system process food more efficiently. Since there is no cure for EPI, Rock’s new rations, coupled with these supplemental digestive enzymes, became his lifeline to survival. A month later he had gained back most of his weight and looked more like a normal dog. Over the years I made a few tweaks to his food and eventually changed the type of digestive enzymes he was getting. He continued to thrive and was the glow of health up until the day he died. Fast forward to today. What has changed since I first experienced the diagnosis and care of an EPI dog? The one thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that EPI is a killer if it isn’t diagnosed quickly and managed with enzyme supplements.

A GENETIC LINK? As a breeder one of the first things that popped into my head was the concern of a genetic link. I learned in my search that no breed of dog is exempt from getting EPI, even mixed-breed dogs suffer from this affliction. Early on, I had read a fascinating paper, “Pancreatic Acinar Atrophy in German Shepherd dogs and Rough-Coated Collies,” by Maria Wiberg, published in Helsinki, Finland in 2003. Back then this was probably one of the most detailed studies that I could find about the incidence level of EPI in canines, especially a suspected defective gene link in the German Shepherd Dog (GSD.) For years many felt there was a clear case for a such genetic link in this particular breed. However, just two years ago, research efforts aimed at identifying any genetic variation underlying EPI in GSD to help breeders eliminate this disease fell short of the mark. According to “Current Status of Genetic Studies of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency in Dogs,” by Leigh Anne Clark, PhD and Melissa L. Cox, PhD [2012], their findings revealed: “Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a disorder wherein the pancreas fails to secrete adequate amounts of digestive enzymes. In dogs, EPI is usually the consequence of an autoimmune disease known as pancreatic acinar atrophy. Originally believed to be a simple autosomal recessive disorder, a test-breeding recently revealed that EPI has a more complex mode of inheritance. The contributions

of multiple genes, combined with environmental factors, may explain observed variability in clinical presentation and progression of this disease. Research efforts aim to identify genetic variations underlying EPI to assist breeders in their efforts to eliminate this disease from their breed and provide clinicians with new targets for therapeutic intervention and/or disease prevention. Genome-wide linkage, global gene expression, and candidate gene analyses have failed to identify a major locus or genetic variations in German Shepherd Dogs with EPI. Recently, genome-wide association studies revealed numerous genomic regions associated with EPI.” Since this study has demonstrated that EPI is not a simple recessive disease, it remains unclear whether there is a genetic cause based on different populations, multiple genetic variants, environment, or a combination of both. Some of those environmental factors might include the overuse of vaccinations, diet, and/or stress. Since the new vaccination protocols were introduced about 10 years ago, many owners have stopped giving those annual vaccinations to their dogs. It would be of interest to learn if this change has influenced the number of dogs diagnosed with EPI today. Moreover, the interest in the canine diet has skyrocketed in the same decade, too. Many dog owners have switched to feeding a raw diet to their carnivores instead of using commercially prepared ones. Could this type of diet havee a more positive effect on a dog’s autoimmune system?

Another a Picture of Health... By Lisa Marshall, ARENDAHL Champion Arendahl's Summerfest, also known as Flora, was born on September 30, 2001. She just turned 13 and still looks like a far younger dog in spite of her EPI. She was an apparently healthy normal basenji until the spring of her 6th year, March 2007. Flora was always a very good eater with no history of diarrhea, stomach upsets, food sensitivities, or allergies. In 2007 she lost weight and developed soft yellow stools pretty much simultaneously. Within just a couple of weeks she went from 22 to about 18 pounds, a pretty rapid decline. She and her housemates started eating her stools, something I had never encountered before. Within 2 weeks Flora was tested for EPI and started on VioKase V® powdered enzymes even before the results of the EPI test came back to confirm what we suspected. Flora's improvement was immediate once the enzymes were added to her diet. She backed off a little at her first meal because of the new taste, but she was so hungry (starving actually) that she quickly overcame whatever hesitancy she had. In a week she had gained at least a pound, and within the next couple of weeks she was back up to her normal weight of 22 pounds. She has done very well all these years with 3/4 teaspoon of enzymes on her meals. The amount has never changed, but I have switched to PanaKare Plus, a generic form of VioKase V®, for cost reasons. I order a 12 oz. bottle from the online Allivet Pet Pharmacy using a prescription that my veterinarian furnishes.

Flora at 13

For training and for fun I give her Charlee Bears brand crunchy treats, and she seems to tolerate them quite well. They are low calorie and low fat so they work well for her. Maybe we have been lucky, but she has been able to thrive and lead a normal life with just the simple addition of the powdered digestive enzymes in each meal of Evanger's Pheasant and Brown Rice kibble topped with a little canned dog food.

Living With An EPI Dog (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) By Denise Vertrees, BRIDEN BASENJIS Remy, my stripey boy was born 12/15/2000 and has always been a healthy dog. All was well until the spring of 2009. Remy was having bouts of diarrhea, and nothing seemed to help. I'd put him on Tylan and other antibiotics to help slow things down, but the diarrhea would be back with a vengeance as soon as I quit treating him. Our vet ran some tests, but nothing conclusive showed up so back on antibiotics he would go. I tried different commercial foods, homemade food, different supplements -- all to no avail. Remy's normal weight was about 23 pounds. That September he had a particularly bad case of diarrhea; so bad that he literally couldn't move without having the runs. I had noticed his weight dropping about a week before that. Out of sheer frustration I did some serious research and discovered that Remy had all the classic symptoms of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. I asked my vet to test Remy for EPI. A good bit of money later confirmed that Remy did have EPI. Viocase® pancreatic supplements were started. He still didn't seem to be doing as well as I wanted, and at about that same time I found a discussion group for folks with EPI dogs. K9EPIGlobal has been a wonderful resource for information and ideas. I asked my vet to test Remy's Cobalamin level (B12) and discovered that his B12 was low. Since then he's been getting B12 shots weekly. I also learned I could get enzymes with the same quality, but at a much lower price. Through the last few years it's been difficult to get Remy to eat his powered enzyme supplemented food. I did some more research and decided to try CREON capsules. In the US these are rather expensive, but I found a cheaper

DIAGNOSIS - THE TIME IT TAKES TO PROCESS INFORMATION An informal all-breed survey was done by a private group back in 2008 with about 150 EPI dog owners participating. One of the questions on the survey asked “How long from onset of clinical symptoms did it take you to get a diagnosis?” Knowing the time it took to diagnose Rock, this question grabbed my interest. Of the 147 responses to this question, 36 percent said their dog was diagnosed within a month, 40 percent stated it took up to three months to get an answer, and the remaining 24 percent noted that it took more than three months. This bodes the question, “Why does it take so long to get a diagnosis for EPI?” Even good veterinarians may not recognize EPI since it isn’t a disease typically seen in their practice (in fact, it’s considered rare); it’s the process of eliminating other more likely causes for the dog’s symptoms that takes time. Some of the more common ailments a vet might explore first are gastrointestinal issues, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), IPSID (ImmunoProliferative Small Intestine Disease,) and parasites. Cost might be another factor. A cTLI test isn’t cheap, not an unbearable cost, but still not cheap. Moreover, a cTLI is not a routine blood test, and it requires a 12-hour fast prior to drawing blood. Some owners might initially balk at this expense; moreover, some vets have hesitated to suggest this costly test as one of the first measures to

Denise and Remy (at almost 14)

supplier overseas. The capsules have greatly improved Remy's stools, and his weight is holding steady at 23 pounds. EPI can be difficult to treat, but one thing I have learned is that each EPI dog is different. There is no single pill or treatment that will work for every dog. It's trial-and-error with this disease, and the best defense is to research different things that can help. Try them, adjust if you need to, to learn what works for your own dog. 

diagnose a client’s dog. One vet wouldn’t even consider this test because, in her mind, EPI was so uncommon in her practice that it seemed logical to rule out every other possibility first. Fortunately, the client insisted. In this case the test revealed the dog was positive for EPI. Be proactive if you think your dog has EPI, and ask your vet to run not only the cTLI test, but the Cobalamin (B-12 deficiency) test at the same time. EPI tends to deplete vitamin B-12 in dogs so it’s important to know the level of B-12 in the dog’s body (more on this topic later in the article.) The average turn-around time once blood has been drawn and submitted to a laboratory is about two days. The combined cost for these tests can run upwards of $500.

ENZYMES - NOW AND THEN Pancrelipase is the digestive enzyme supplement used to treat dogs for malabsorption caused by EPI. It’s a raw extract of lipase (fat), protease (protein), and amylase (starch) that acts in place of the natural substance, pancreatin, that’s normally produced by the exocrine cells of a healthy pancreas. These elements are important for breaking down fats, proteins and starches so the food can be absorbed in the small intestines. Lipase, protease, and amylase are found in both plant-based and animal-based sources. Plant-based enzymes are more effective in the stomach, whereas animal-based enzymes target the small intestines

The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 6

EXOCRINE PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY (Continued) where the nutrients are absorbed. For the first two or three years Rock’s diet was supplemented with plant-based enzymes because it was simply less expensive than the limited number of pricy name-brand enzymes on the market at that time. Eventually, several less expensive generic products became available that made pricing much more competitive. I switched Rock to the animal-based supplemental enzymes, and because this type of enzymes is more effective in the small intestine, his stools improved even more. Today I am amazed at the choices of enzyme products available. Quite a change from 11 years ago. Now pancrelipase comes in many forms -- powder, tablets, capsules, even a delayed-release capsule that contains small coated beads. The most common application continues to be powder because it is easily mixed with food. Good to know because dogs require enzyme supplements with every meal.

DIETS - ARE THEY DIFFERENT TODAY? When Rock was diagnosed, it was explained to me that he needed a low-fat, high fiber diet. Many years later, a different picture emerges. Contrary to conventional wisdom, some EPI dogs can tolerate a large quantity of fat in their diet. The hypothesis is that a high-fat diet results in a better conservation of the lipase (fat) in the enzyme supplement. Another change is that a highly-digestible low-fiber diet is now recommended. It was discovered that excess fiber in a diet can inhibit the action of the supplemental pancreas enzymes. Because of these findings, the owner of an EPI dog is no longer limited to a small choice of diets as many companies have discovered the need to provide nutrition for many different ailments including EPI. Many EPI dogs also do well on a raw diet which means an owner is not limited to just commercial foods.

SUPPORTATIVE MEASURES Vitamin B-12 EPI depletes vitamin B-12 (Cobalamin) in dogs. Eleven years ago I didn’t come across any discussions about this issue, nor did my vet advise me about this concern; hence, Rock’s vitamin B-12 level was never tested. Today, if I had another dog diagnosed with EPI, this test would be done at the same time blood was drawn for the cTLI test. The body does not produce B-12; it must be part of the dog’s nutritional intake. Typically, there is no shortage of B-12 in diets, but if the animal suffers from a B-12 deficiency because of EPI, it can experience a lack of appetite, changes in temperament, diarrhea, weight loss, and in some severe cases, neurological symptoms. Dogs can be given vitamin B-12 subcutaneous injections to counteract this deficiency. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) I was lucky in that Rock suffered only one bout with SIBO and this was at the very beginning of his treatment for EPI. Other than the obvious, one significant downside to SIBO is that this buildup of

bacteria can also lead to vitamin B-12 deficiency because these organisms bind the vitamin, making absorption more difficult in the intestine. Rock was given a prescription of metronidazole to treat SIBO. Today I would reach for non-prescription tylosin (Tylan®), something I always keep on hand anyway to treat diarrhea. For years I have described tylosin as the “magic” drug because of its ability to stop diarrhea quickly. For many owners of EPI dogs this has become the drug of choice. In fact, tylosin is considered superior to other drugs such as trimethoprim sulfonamide, doxycycline, and metronidazole. Better yet, it has been reported not to diminish with longer or repeated treatment periods.

CONCLUSION I am encouraged by the progress that has been made with this disease, especially in the genetic field. Even though research has now dispelled the hypothesis that EPI is an autosomal simple recessive disease, the door is wide open to explore more possibilities for the cause. In fact, more studies are ongoing to explore other associated chromosonal regions. We have new diet recommendations, more choices for supplemental digestive enzymes, and improvements to the supportive measures that help dogs thrive in spite of their affliction. Basenjis are no different than any other canine breed when it comes to EPI. Over these past 11 years I have learned of several basenjis that have been diagnosed with EPI, and no doubt, there will be more. As I said earlier, one thing that has not changed, and I cannot stress this enough, is that EPI is a killer if your dog is not treated.h EPI REFERENCES: • New Developments In The Dietary Management Of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency; Denise A.

Preserving the Breed Standard It seems that a lot of judges and breeders are ignoring some key points in the breed standards. The result is a shift towards cookie cutter dogs and generic movement.

By E. Katie Gammill AKC Judge Emeritus

hen breed standards were initially written there was a point system that prioritized attributes for individual breeds. In most breeds, this valuable tool was removed. That left judging the breed up to the discerning “eye” of a breeder or judge which in truth, allowed importance to be placed upon virtues which the breed standard never intended.

Judges attempt to follow a written breed standard. So why remove the point systems from the breed standards? Why, to make it easier for judges. Why do we have judge’s education? Because exhibitors and breeders want judges to become better educated and thus make better choices. Despite breed seminars and the AKC Institutes and materials, do we have better judges? If we no longer judge breeding stock by the breed standard, what is the point?

Why, if there is only one breed standard, does it take 15 mentors to teach new judges? Are we teaching to the standard or are we simply teaching “opinions?” Why are judges shown only outstanding individuals at breed seminars? Being involved in dogs, horses, goats, rabbits, and various other critters, I swear one learns more from the bad ones. How can one compare virtues unless they see them alongside breed faults? The easiest way to learn structure is a direct comparison of “bad” and good, yet rarely is structure considered during judging seminars. It is assumed that by the time one reaches that level, judges know all about structure but if that’s the case, why are they there? How does one learn to judge a dog when several dogs are shown as examples and the student is told on the first dog “this is the desired The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 10

eye, the second dog has the preferred head, the third dog offers coat characteristics, the fourth dog has the desired proper foot, and the fifth dog offers ear set, and so on? THEN a judge is expected to evaluate the dog in its entirety? This is what it means to “have an eye” for a dog. It isn’t something one can grow. It is the ability to absorb the different virtues, then go into the ring and select the animal based on symmetry and let it “fill the eye” while prioritizing the breed standard’s listed virtues in order or priority. When the eye is drawn to any specific part of a dog, be it rear, head, ears, coat, or foot, usually it is because it is exaggerated and therefore, incorrect. Examples are floppy flews on Great Danes, dogs with over angulated rears, straight fronts, and overdone coats. Yet, often this is the very thing the piecejudge “beads in on” due to breed seminar education. The goal is to find an animal that reflects a balance of type and soundness. Is it any wonder breeds are in a constant state of flux regarding “type?” Of course, we can be generous and say breed standards are open to the interpretation of each individual, but the fact remains, if breeders don’t breed to a specific blueprint, what is the point of breeding at all? Have we forgotten that the initial reason for our sport was to gather and select dogs that most represented our written breed standards?

Fact: “Type change is when an obvious fault becomes so concentrated it eventually appears to be accepted as a virtue”. Rather than taking up the challenge of breeding (or judging) to the breed standard, it’s easier to flood the ring with the latest fad, thus making the “correct to the breed standard” dog look out of place.” “I can do what I want” seems to take precedence in today’s world but when dogs are judged in pieces and the breed standard places no emphasis, people will breed for what wins rather than what is correct. That is, until the next big thing surfaces. Changing the rules to fit the game has not improved our sport. Some say the era of large kennels has passed, however, there ARE breeders today breeding quality, correct dogs with a minimum of well chosen individuals in their possession. These breeders continue to adhere to the breed standard and are continuously beaten in the ring by judges who, in their short span in the sport, have never seen the

greats. Or if they have seen them, they don’t have the courage to pull one forward when it enters their ring. With wonderful educational opportunities, access to parent club breed standards and assistance for new judges to move forward, our sport is regressing at an alarming rate. Why? That is something we must all address and decide for ourselves. Do we want to move forward in the sport of dogs and leave something for future generations, or do we simply want to have a fun day with our dog? Demanding judges to be educated based on pieces of the breed standard hasn’t worked. Somewhere along the way, this “breed seminar” and “judges education” idea took on a life of its own. Despite AKC efforts to improve judging, it seems each step added another obstacle. Someone asked Dale Carnegie what it took to be successful. He answered, “I don’t know how to tell you to become successful. I can tell you how to fail. Try to please everyone.” Is that what we’re doing in both breeding and judging seminars? Perhaps we need to study and apply the entire breed standard! ABOUT THE AUTHOR AKC judge since 1979, Katie does Working and Herding Groups, seminars, and is a CADAC officer.

If you have never thought about visiting Russia – Do it now ! And don’t just think – GO ! Wonderfully warm, welcoming people. Superb hosts, country full of spectacular scenery, riddled with great history, lots to see. I can’t recommend it highly enough – and yes, they have some lovely basenjis too ! (I wrote that when the political situation was stable. I hope by the time you read it, it will be again !)

St Petersburg, Russia Basenji Specialty June 21, 2014

espite warnings of rain and cold temperatures, we landed in St Petersburg to warm sunshine and blue skies. There were, however, many puddles on the ground at the venue which testified to the adverse conditions of the previous three days. Larissa and her daughter, Ira, met me – Ira carried sheets of paper with hand-written ‘phrase book’ type notes, asked me if I’d had a good flight, and we understood each other immediately ! It was quite a long drive to the venue over roads in a condition never seen in England - I mean, the car glided smoothly along wide, well sign-posted (in Cyrillic, naturally) highways we Brits can only dream about.

By Sally Wallis, UK

Saint Petersburg, located on the Neva River at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, is the second largest city in Russia. In 1914 the name of the city was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd, in 1924 to Leningrad, and in 1991, back to Saint Petersburg.

The venue for the show is a culture park and comprises an hotel, stables, pens for goats, baby deer and other wildlife including birds of prey – I’m pretty sure I identified a Harris Hawk or its Russian equivalent – centres of learning, chalets, a bank and a couple of restaurants, all set out in grassland with wide walkways. The buildings are all pine logs put together in a style of days gone by and garnished with wooden sculptures of animals or decorated with exotic relief carving. My room was like a delightful log cabin with every modern amenity except curtains and as we were close to the land of the midnight sun.

The city was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on May 27, 1703. It is Russia's second largest city after Moscow with 5 million inhabitants (2012) and the fourth most populated federal subject. Saint Petersburg is a major European cultural center and often described as the most Western city of Russia, as well as its cultural capital.

2014 RUSSIAN BASENJI SPECIALTY (Continued)

The show was held in a vast, permanently floored, marquee. There were actually four rings because some 400 dogs of all breeds, including basenjis who had registered for the other show as well as for the Club Specialty, were judged by three different nationality allrounders from Poland, Macedonia & Russia. We all stayed in the pine log hotel and after the show enjoyed a very convivial evening with our hostess and show organiser, Marina Belonina and her husband. The lady from Russia had had 200 dogs to judge and explained to me that in Russia, ‘native’ judges can do up to 200 and overseas adjudicators are limited to 100 in a day. Sometimes there is no requirement to write a critique on every dog and the ring stewards are extremely efficient so the judging goes like clockwork.

The Basenji Specialty provided me with 90 basenjis to go over. Many were puppies and there were some new(ish) handlers to encourage, so I was aware that, brilliant as my ring stewards Dasha and Nadezhda were, it was necessary to spend more time with each dog here than in the other rings. In any case, it was a club show, and we had all day. It was daunting nay, completely overwhelming, that exhibitors had travelled from as far away as Vladivostok, Smolensk and Moscow, Estonia Judge Sally Wallis examining bitch 79-Eflaliia Iz Divnogo Sada in the Champions Class and Finland. I was told one owner from Vladivostok drove for two weeks to cover the 8000 kilometers to St Petersburg and Westerly Wind / Old Legends Daria) and BOS puppy Afrikanskiy another flew – 9 hours. And then there was the return journey. . . I Molchun Mercedes (Tim Spirit Man in Black/ Blackberry Great Hope). Googled it – and am even more honoured to have had their entry. In Junior, one stunning youngster, Afrikanskiy Molchun Ego Classes were placed 1 – 4 and there was so much in the way of Velichestvo (Mount Takoma / Afrikanskiy Molchun Tsarskaya Osoba) trophies, rosettes and bags of dog food from the sponsors to go to each caught my eye as he entered the ring and further examination confirmed placed dog that two more stewards stayed in the corner stacking the my impression. In fact he went on to become Reserve Best in Show. winnings in front of each place card as soon as a class was finished. Although they do not challenge for Best of Sex, Best Junior and the And as they finished their own assignments, the three all-rounders Best Veteran do challenge for Best in Show. BOS Junior was his litter came and sat for a while, watching the basenjis. sister, Afrikanskiy Molchun Egipetskaya Zhritsa (Egyptian Priestess). The first classes, Baby, Puppy & Junior, are each judged dogs then bitches and when they say ‘Baby’ they do mean BABY ! One extremely promising youngster, Tim Spirit Celebration (Kimwitu’s Stan G. / Tim Spirit Igrushka) was only 12 weeks old. He strode out with tremendous confidence but lost out to a slightly more mature babe, Afrikanskiy Molchun Luchshii` Iz Luchshikh, (loosely translated ‘Best of the Best !) who went on to become Best Baby ahead of his litter-sister, Afrikanskiy Molchun Legenda Egipta. Both babies were sired by my old friend, Mount Takoma Afrikanskiy Molchun out of Afrikanskiy Molchun Hitraya Lisa. Marina brought Mount out to the hotel on Monday evening. He likes riding in the car as it often means he is being taken to meet a lady-basenji . . . He is a lovely cuddle-boy and still in super condition – In Russia, unlike in UK, sometimes the dog visits the bitch for these assignations. Puppies were all very promising and augur well for the future of Russian basenjidom. There were so many super young animals, including several lovely, correctly marked tris that it wasn’t easy picking the winners. Best Puppy was the boy, Dar Bony-Sona Emerald (Sonbars

Following Junior Bitch, the rest of the dog classes are judged, then Best Dog and the bitch classes. Intermediate, Open, Winners (dogs who have won awards but as yet are not titled), Champion, Club Champion (which rates higher than a Champion) and finally Veteran. The Intermediate Classes in both sexes were very exiting. Best Male/Best in Show, Tim Spirit Vinni Teddy Bear (Wazazi High Priority / Tim Spirit Viviana) and 2nd Best Female, a tri, Afrikanskiy Molchun Basita Suraya (Master Allen Congo Itapuca / Afrikanskiy Molchun Tanzania) both came from this class. I was later informed the tri-gal had been my Best Puppy in Tallinn last year ! And, interestingly, my Best Dog, Tim Spirit Vinni Teddy Bear and my Best Bitch, Djuvanstar Idalika Shania (out of Djuvanstar Born To Win Lussia) were both sired by Wazazi High Priority (Jebelmarra Harum Scarum / Wazazi Awesome Glamour). 2nd Best Dog came from Club Champion Class - Tim Spirit Man in Black (Tim Spirit Corazon de Vencedor / Afrikanskiy Molchun Guinea Bisau), 3rd was from Open Class – Tim Spirit Atlantik Ocean (Signet Meisterhaus Take That / Wazin Red Gambai).

wasn’t !!! I don’t mind if ears are big as long as they are not fly-away – i.e. low set. Too many of the dogs I saw could do with better ear placement because the position of the ears governs the wrinkle. And the tip should always be inside the outer edge. The head of the dog on the database front page is Zande Chafya (Firbi). His head and expression were super, despite the pale eyes(!). That is not the best photo of him.

overall had won Open Class, (Djuvanstar Idalika Shania), 2nd came from Intermediate (Afrikanskiy Molchun Basita Suraya - Master Allen Congo Itapuca / Afrikanskiy Molchun Tanzania) & 3rd was another Club Champion, Tim Spirit Aldjeba (Eldorado N Terrurst Whilrwind / Rus Ahmar’s Rapsodia to Tim Spirit). I haven’t included any titles – because it is probable that I don’t have them all in the database and they are not listed in the catalog. It was relatively easy to be consistent in the dogs but less so in bitches. As the critiques, so ably written by Dasha (who also scribed for me in Tallinn), are handed to the exhibitors, I have to rely on overall memory. It would be good to have had a laptop or dictating machine at ring side but as, in the interests of time and not holding the exhibits, particularly the babies hanging around for too long, one dictates as one goes over each dog on the table, this would not be practicable. In England and Australia, but not in Europe and not in Russia, the judge writes notes and types them up at home so has access to them if at a later date there is a need to write an article. When a critique is dictated for the exhibitor to take home with him/her, the judge doesn’t get to keep a copy.

Movement was pretty good on the whole, one girl leaned heavily towards her handler and a couple toed in, others went wide behind. The dog must be allowed to put its weight on its front feet – it is not good to string it up so the weight is practically carried by the collar. And believe me, I have seen this, although not at Saint Petersburg. When basenji judging was over, exhibitors and spectators set chairs around in a semi circle (several rows deep !) and joined in a lively question and answer session. I had a question for them – Only a single male handler amongst them all on the day ? But it seems Russian men prefer to show toy dogs. One lady posed a particularly barbed question: “Breeders who breed away from the Standard or judges who ignore it when placing dogs. Which is most reprehensible ?” On Sunday, Natalia, her English speaking son Timur and Svetlana took me and two of the all-rounder judges to Peterhof, the immense estate of Peter the Great on the borders of the Gulf of Finland. Here, specialising in huge and elaborate fountains and statues, he built smaller palaces in the gardens of the Grand Palace. Over the years much was destroyed, lead statues eaten away by water or damaged in conflicts, Spires on the Grand Palace

In UK, critiques at Championship Shows are kept to the first two places in each class, Australia goes down to 4th – I applaud the practice of treating all exhibits, all of whom have paid the same entry fee, the same, i.e. with a written critique. Having been told the custom was to praise the dogs in a couple of sentences, not to mention faults, I obeyed (more or less). Later it was pointed out on the Salonga Russian forum that bringing attention to faults helps breeders to improve, and I wish now I had been more outspoken !! Judging is very subjective. I know what I like. Size is not all that important as long as the outline is square and the dog is of balanced construction.

but now the Hof is fully restored and the opulence of the gilded statues and the June sunshine glinting on the pure water gushing from the fountains is indeed magnificent. We walked miles through avenues of plane trees, areas wooded with silver birch and pine trees, past more fountains and palaces built for specific purposes. One, used for secret or private conversations, is surrounded by a moat and there is a drawbridge to deter intruders. Peter, who stood 2 metres 14 in his socks and is represented in huge statues, incorporated a extensive irrigation system to feed the fountains, water the flower gardens which are laid out to this day as he designed them, and generally keep the place clean. He loved practical jokes and so seats which spray you with water if you sit on them, trees which turn into fountains if you approach them – and also give you a drenching, are encountered in shaded corners. After lunch, the Polish lady had to leave us for the airport, to return to Krakow and her Bassett puppy, and the rest of us drove out to Kronstadt to visit the Fort and the magnificent church of St Nicolai, built by mariners to commemorate their fallen. Its walls are covered in plaques giving the date of naval engagements along with the number of dead and their rank, officers or seamen. Kronstadt is in effect itself the fort, being a island in the middle of the entrance to the Gulf of Finland. It was heavily fortified to protect St Petersburg from attack by Sweden and is now reached in two directions at right-angles by immense dams carrying multi-lane highways. There are sluices and barriers which can be used to prevent a recurrence of flood on the city. We returned to the hotel to rest but midnight saw Marina, Pero from Macedonia and I walking in daylight (!) along the quays in front of the Winter Palace - prior to embarking for a boat trip on the Neva. The daylight did disappear in time and the lights were spectacular. It was a wonderful experience but by the time 3 am arrived, together with our taxi, we were all just as glad to disembark and get home to bed. On Monday Dasha came to the hotel and as it was raining, she helped with the Cyrillic catalog and we identified pups (and a few adult dogs) not in the database. Then it dried up and we drove out to Pushkin, to Tsarskoe Seloto, the Feodorovsky settlement, intended by Tzar Nicolas II to house schools, a hospital, barracks and general amenities for his staff. Nicholas hated to live in the Winter Palace and installed his family in a small but exquisite palace close to the complex – the family was first imprisoned there and then removed to Ekaterinburg where they were subsequently massacred. It is not a ‘touristy’ place. The buildings of the complex are dilapidated but not total ruins; the palace is a museum and the church is very much a place of worship to this day. The place has a deserted feeling of serenity, somewhere time just stopped. All in all it was a wonderful weekend and a totally unforgettable experience for which I am so grateful to the hosts, organisers and exhibitors.

8000 km, just for a dog show – Wow !

Words Can Never Hurt Me Owner or Guardian – and Why the Choice Matters

The

B-LEGAL Blog

In recent years it has become increasingly popular to refer to those who live with companion animals as “pet guardians” or “pet parents.” It sounds cute, doesn’t it? These phrases evoke a loving, caring, parent-child relationship between a companion animal and “its special humans.” In reality, however, there’s nothing cute about this language – at its worst, it represents insidious efforts by the Animal Rights (with PETA at the forefront) to change the way the general public thinks about companion animals, and ultimately, how the law treats the relationship between companion animals and people.

et’s start by looking at some definitions. Black’s Law Dictionary defines an “owner” as “[t]he person in whom is vested the ownership, dominion, or title of property; proprietor. He who has dominion of a thing, real or personal, corporeal or incorporeal, which he has a right to enjoy and do with as he pleases *** as far as the law permits, unless he [is] prevented by some agreement or covenant which restraints his right.”

In contrast, Black’s defines the term “guardian” as

By Karla Schreiber, Esq.

“[a] person lawfully invested with the power, and charged with the duty, of taking care of the person and managing the property and rights of another person, who, for some peculiarity of status, or defect of age, understanding or self-control, is considered incapable of administering his own affairs.” If the difference between these definitions isn’t immediately apparent, let me clarify: a property owner, subject to certain legal limits imposed to maintain social and political order, may use his or her property in any manner desired, or refrain from using it at all – as he or she sees fit. The property rights of individuals in the United States and most developed countries are fixed, well-litigated, and stable. What belongs to us can, within the limits established by law (relating primarily to public health and safety) be used in any manner an owner sees fit. In sharp contrast, a guardian is charged with a duty of care toward his or her “ward” (the person the guardian is appointed to care for) that is extrinsic to the guardian’s personal judgment. The court appointed guardians of children, the elderly, or the mentally infirm must make decisions that are in “the best interests” of their wards. If someone (a The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 20

B-Legal Blog (Continued)

teacher, doctor, psychologist, or even a well-meaning neighbor or acquaintance) raises a question regarding whether a specific action (or inaction) is in the ward’s best interest, courts, court-appointed experts, and others are legally entitled to intervene in the guardian’s decision-making process on behalf of the ward. The guardian-ward relationship exists for the care and protection of the ward. The owner-property relationship exists for the benefit of the owner, allowing the owner significant leeway in making choices regarding property’s appropriate use(s). Changing the way people think about the relationship between companion animals and the people they live has the potential to result in far-reaching consequences for dog owners, breeders and even veterinarians. Here are just a few examples: Your dog has suffered a broken leg. Your vet gives you three options for treatment and carefully explains the pros and cons of each option, including potential physical outcomes for the dog, as well as the long and short term costs in dollars and cents. As a dog owner, the decision regarding how to treat your pet’s injury is yours and yours alone. You decide, after carefully weighing your vet’s advice and suggestions, how to balance the best interests of your dog in the short and long term with the costs associated with each treatment option. As a dog “guardian,” however, you are obligated to make a choice that focuses solely on the best interests of your dog – and nothing else. If that means providing a 14-year old animal with a $5,000 surgery, then that must be your choice. If it isn’t your choice, your vet or another third party could challenge your decision and potentially force a different result. You have a variable work schedule. Several days per week, your dogs receive lots of house and yard time. On other days, however, their house and yard time – while still adequate - is restricted by your schedule. As a dog owner, the decision regarding how much house or yard time to give your dogs is yours unless the situation is tantamount to “abuse or neglect” as defined by law. As a dog “guardian,” however, you have an obligation to always put your “wards’” best interests first. Your neighbors, people who come to your home to provide services, or others could assert that the amount of house and yard time you are providing is not in the best interests of your dogs. This could, in theory, lead to an “independent investigation” of whether or not you are a “fit” pet guardian. You are a hunter who owns several sporting dogs. You enjoy hunting with your dogs in a variety of weather conditions and terrains. As a dog owner, this is your right – to put your property to a useful purpose, as you see fit. As a dog guardian, however, you have no such right. Individuals who do not approve of the times, manner, and places where you hunt, or the methods you employ, could legally interfere with your ability to do so because – as stated above – what matters most in a guardian-ward relationship is maximizing benefit and minimizing risk(s) to the

ward. The wishes, goals, or preferences of the guardian are either (a) not legal considerations, or (b) secondary considerations at best. If these examples seem Orwellian to you, think again. Animal rights groups that favor classifying pets as “wards,” and owners as “guardians” or “pet parents” are not just urging innocent changes in the way we talk about companion animals in a “more humane and animal-conscious world.” The legal shift from owner to guardian has the potential to lead to extremely negative changes in the legal status of animals and owners and especially animals that work, event, or perform for and with their owners. For thousands of years, domesticated animals have been the property of individual owners. This ownerproperty relationship has not impeded the steady improvement in the way we – as human beings – treat the animals that live with and work for us. Our compassion for animals as sentient beings does not depend on legal labels, and never has. However, the property status of animals is critical to ensuring that owners who live with their animals day in and day out are the sole decision makers for their animals, and that third-parties (courts, experts, neighbors, municipalities, etc.) may intervene only if there is a significant public interest (i.e. evidence of abuse, neglect, and/or conditions that threaten public health and safety). THE TAKE AWAY: Both the American Kennel Club and the American Veterinary Medical Association strongly oppose the use of the term “guardian” with respect to domesticated and companion animals. As breeders, owners and fanciers we should support this position “in the trenches,” by reminding those who thoughtlessly or innocently use the terms “guardian” or “pet parent” that our ability to own, show, event, and work with our animals depends on their legal status as personal property.

THE BASENJI IN

Africa by Mrs. Elpet Ford, TAYSENJI

COMMENTS FROM THE EDITOR

When the first two groups of native dogs were imported into the US back in 1987 and 1988 the basenji fancy had a lot to say about the possible inclusion of these dogs into the registry. Far more so in the UK, it turns out. Elspet described the air as turning “blue” during club meetings when discussion fell to the topic of those recent native imports, especially those sporting the brindle marking. In fact it was many years later after our side of the pond accepted the brindle that the UK agreed to adopt that coloration. Elspet was a quiet person, not lent to needless chatter. When she spoke her words were carefully chosen. Even 50 years ago she was a proponent of diversity and, I believe, helped to usher in the acceptance of these new imports to the fancy in the UK many years later. The older I get, the more inclined I am to believe that old saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Elspet wrote this article in 1967 -- 47 years ago. As you will discover, discussion on this topic has changed little since then.

would appear that there is a great furor created about any basenji that has its origin in any part of Africa other than the Sudan or the Congo, but who can say with any certainty that they are not basenjis? The Congo and the Sudan may have been the first countries visited by the white man and specimens of their dogs brought to England, but other African countries have probably had basenjis just as long, only it took a little longer for the white man to find them.

The African continent is large, larger in area than the average man can visualise, but to say that there can be more than one breed of dog on one continent that can produce all of the characteristics listed, appears to me to be sheer nonsense. I am not an anthropologist, but it would be interesting to learn of the number of African tribes descended from the same root who now have tribal differences of features, pigmentation, customs, and speech. What can happen to humans can surely happen to dogs.

The main characteristics of a basenji are: that it should have prick ears, a curly tail carried on its back, four white feet, a white tail tip and a white chest. It should not bark but is not mute; it can make all the other normal dog noises plus a few extra ones of his own that no ordinary dog is clever enough to dream up. His colours are usually red and white, black and white, or tri-colour; the latter a very artistic mixture of red, black and white.

Please consider the map of Africa (on the next page) as it shows the areas where basenjis are, or were found. This area covers what might roughly be called Central Africa. It is generally accepted that the ancient Egyptians possessed basenjis, and that they were probably something very special, even then, so that more than likely, gifts were made of breeding pairs to neighbouring

The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 22

The Basenji in Africa, Continued

African Chiefs. Also the Egyptians were explorers, traders and wanderers, and if their basenjis were anything like the modern day ones, they would certainly have gone with their masters on their trips hence the basenji visited the Sudan, the Congo, Malawi (Nyasaland), Tanganyka, the Cameroons, Zambia (Northern Rhodesia), Nigeria, and Liberia. Who will ever know for sure how they became established in these countries. Maybe as gifts, or bitches in whelp who dropped out on the long journeys? Or as hunters who were wounded and could not make the journey back to camp! Anyway, once in a country, they stayed and became very useful members of the local tribe. The native tribesmen did not leave his own area very often. If he did it was probably only to make a raid on a nearby tribe and his dogs would be left in his own kraal, so over the centuries each pocket of basenjis interbred and produced in their own tribe, as it were; subtle differences of the original model. In some areas the ears became larger, maybe they were the ones that depended more on hearing than on sight. In some the tempers deteriorated, while in others the coat became harder and coarser. In short, they produced minor modifications of the English standard, which was created by, and for, the dogs from the Congo and the Sudan only. These pockets of basenjis probably account for the difference in distribution of the colours as well. The original Sudanese owners perhaps did not care for the black and white dogs so they were the poor unfortunates who ended up in the cooking pot, whilst in Liberia it was the tri-colours who suffered that fate. The red and whites seem to have been more popular all around. Before the Congo uprising in

1960, the Belgian government had started a scheme to collect together a breeding nucleus of basenjis, mainly because the purebred dog was rapidly becoming extinct in the Congo. Fortunately, some of these dogs were saved and in 1963 were in possession of M. Verbruggen. Taking the English basenji as normal, the Congo dogs were very much taller, being about 19 or 20 inches tall, and they give the impression of being very much larger; their ears were fairly large and lowset, and their coats were longer and thicker than usual. All those I saw were red and white, and whilst they were not vicious, I would not have taken liberties with any one of them. As is usual with all African bred dogs, they only had a single curl in their tails. M. Verbruggen had also managed to obtain a bitch from the Cameroons. This was also a red and white and very much closer to the English ideal, being smaller with better ears and a finer coat. She was also very much better tempered. As the basenji is used to hunt monkeys in the Cameroons, it is difficult to obtain an adult with a tail as these are cut off at birth to prevent the monkey from grabbing it and pulling the dog in half. Nyasaland or Malawi has no pure bred basenjis now, but the local "Pi" dog is definitely of basenji descent; tails, ears and marking all proved that; but the dogs have thick, long coats and really vicious tempers. They are used purely as hunters and most of them have their bodies covered with terrible scars. The first time I exhibited a black basenji in Zambia, I was informed by an on looker that the dogs she had when she first arrived in Northern Rhodesia in 1902 were exactly the same as mine; they didn't bark

The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 23

The Basenji in Africa, Continued either. There is nothing that even vaguely resembles a basenji there now. Not altogether surprising as the local tribes are not dog lovers, and the poor animals they do keep are just walking skeletons. How they ever find enough energy to chase anything, I just don't know. To the best of my knowledge, there are no purebred basenjis in Tanganyka. I have friends there and they have never seen one. The Sudan, of course, has basenjis, but even there it is becoming very difficult to find a purebred one. In Liberia, because the St. Paul River acts as a natural barrier across the country, there was, until recent years, a large area of undeveloped hinterland visited only by traders and missionaries. There in the remote native villages were many basenjis. They were used by the natives as hunters and as a source of food. As the Liberian native had no other breed of dog in the villages, we can be fairly safe in assuming that for centuries, the basenji there has only bred with its own kind. Since the St. Paul has been bridged and roads made through the bush, the backwoods African has found it easy to visit the coast and civilisation, and there he was enchanted to find other breeds of dog which he promptly took home with him; so now I fear there will be a mixture of all types running around the villages. As the basenji have always lived with the natives as part of his family, hunting with them, sleeping with them around the cooking fire, is it any wonder that our modern day basenji hates to be shut away from his family and will do all in his power to return to them if he should be enclosed. I am sure that the occasional lapses from grace - like the disappearance of the Sunday joint from the table, all stem from a memory of being last in the food queue. The African male eats first, then the wife, followed by the children, and about all the poor dog gets is to lick out the cook pot. Little wonder that they got into the habit of eating whenever the opportunity presented itself. It also explains why the basenji needs comparatively little food to keep in first class condition. To sum up, the basenji has been found in a very wide area of Central Africa. In some regions they have remained for hundreds of years, maybe because the native there liked the dog as he was, or because there were no other breeds available for cross breeding. In other areas the basenjis seem to have disappeared, leaving very little trace behind; whilst in others, cross breeding has taken place to such an extent that it is difficult to say more than that there is a basenji in the family tree of the dogs concerned. At one time, centuries ago, they were all identical, but over the years, in their own little communities, they have developed their own characteristics. It would appear that one cannot say with certainty that the Congo or the Sudanese dog is the only correct specimen; surely they are all basenjis with slightly different physical conformation due to environment.

Elspet Ford, TAYSENJI Author of “The Complete Basenji” [1993]. Elspet became involved with the breed back in 1961 while she was living in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia). She owned the first black and white basenji to win its Championship title - South African Ch. Taysenji Tahzu. When Elspet returned to Britain she brought this dog and the American-bred Coptokin Copper Beautique, then in whelp to a Tahzu son, to start her kennel. She became well-known in the basenji world. One of her greatest achievements was winning the ‘double’ at Crufts (dog and bitch CCs) with Ch. Taysenji Kush and her American-bred bitch, Ch. Asaris Ti-Karu. Elspet was an international show Championship judge and was the first Briton to judge a Basenji Club of America National Specialty, back in 1981. She judged basenjis at Crufts in 1988 and traveled to judging assignments in Scandinavia and Germany. In 1996 while Elspet was visting in the US she judged the first Championship specialty for the Basenji Club of Southeastern Wisconsin. She also maintained her own extensive set of studbook records that proved invaluable many times.

BY KYA Hi out there in “Senjiland!”

have such exciting news. I am now a genuine certified therapy dog through AKC. I am so proud of this accomplishment. Not many of us have this distinctive title. I am already working on the next level which is 100 visits and have every intention of “making the grade,” as they say. We have several new dogs in our group including one all the way from Europe (wherever that is). I think he is some kind of retriever, Golden maybe? His name is Cane, and he is a perfect gentleman. Not once did he stick his nose in my ear. You know I have a thing about boys sticking their noses in my ears. We also have a neat little parti-poodle and some others as well. Everyone is always so happy when we walk through the door. Now for some not so exciting news....Libby, bless her heart and her busy little mouth, ate her way to yet another abdominal surgery. This time it was a hand towel. We (mom and me) have no idea how it happened, but fortunately we caught it early on. Libby spent a night in our new Urgent Pet Clinic where they tracked ALL that she did not throw up. Early the next morning she was taken to her regular vet who gave Libby a thorough examination and early in the morning he had to do another surgery. Hopefully, she has learned her lesson, but I rather doubt it. She can get into more mischief than the average dog! I sometimes wonder why nothing very exciting ever happens to me. I was very disappointed that I did not get to go to the National Specialty. I guess some of mom’s things take priority over mine. Anyway, very soon I will be attending shows (hopefully without Libby in tow)

so I can show the world how basenjis can do more than just look pretty. I did get to have some graduation pictures taken that I think make me look very dignified, if I do say so myself. I guess the most exciting thing happening in my world is the man does not get the inside gate hooked all the time so I grab the opportunity to dash through the house and chase anything that runs, usually Black and Ringo. Little Bit thinks he is so big and brave. He puffs himself up and spits and hisses as I fly by, but if I run towards him, he retreats to hide. Betty kitty has decided we can be best of friends....IF I DO NOT go into her living quarters. It seems it is okay for her to come to my quarters, but not for me to go to invade her resting space. As long as we are compatible friends, life is good; we even touch noses when she enters my domain and rubs on me like Blue does. I sincerely hope you all enjoyed and are enjoying the lovely fall weather. I really enjoy going outside and lying in the leaves to sun myself. When mom goes out to rake or prune or whatever she does, I always go with to watch over her. Nothing has ever happened, but you never know when something might so I am ever so vigilant. Until next time... Don’t look back, something may be gaining on you. May all your trails be happy and all your dreams come true. Talk to you next time!
